Foreign Television

Doraemon is a Japanese cartoon about a robot cat from the future who comes back in time to help the ancestor of his future owner or something. He does this by using various inventions that he keeps in his pocket. Apparently his ears where bitten off by rats or something, its rather odd by western standards. Someone actually bothered to translate his theme tune into English:

This is a two part TV film from Russia called Kin-Dza-Dza. I suppose it's a bit like Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy but a bit more subtle, more of a satire than a farce. I think its really funny and clever.






















Here is another Japanese children's cartoon called Dr Slump, it's pretty funny.
